Thanks bur and spud! He is so stoked, we are going to a gun show this evening and I am taking him to his first ever WI Deer and Turkey Expo next month in Madison. He grew up in a small rural town outside of Janesville near the IL border and said many of his friends hunted, but he had no one in his family that did and his mom wouldn't let him go with anyone who wasn't family because she thought it would be too dangerous and didn't trust anyone else. He is only a year and a half removed from 2 stints in Afghanistan as a member of the 82nd Airborne, so he knows about shooting and killing, just not game animals. He is really getting pumped up now, as we both drew week 1 turkey permits, so he is already putting in for vacation next month. He is making a ghille suit and is almost finished with it, said he might as well put his sniper school training to work! LOL Listening to him trying to learn to blow a mouth call has been a treat, sounds more like a wounded cat, but he is a determined guy, so he will eventually get it. Hopefully we can get some more pics for the "Successful Hunts" forum!
